Actually, it isn't called egcs, it's called gcc or g++ I think,
depending on whether you're compiling a C or C++ program.
Here's the output of "rpm -qa | grep egcs" on my RedHat machine at
work:
compat-egcs-5.2-1.0.3a.1
compat-egcs-c++-5.2-1.0.3a.1
compat-egcs-g77-5.2-1.0.3a.1
compat-egcs-objc-5.2-1.0.3a.1
egcs-1.1.2-12
egcs-c++-1.1.2-12
egcs-g77-1.1.2-12
egcs-objc-1.1.2-12
Here's the output of "man egcs":
GCC(1) GNU Tools GCC(1)
NAME
gcc, g++ - GNU project C and C++ Compiler (egcs-1.1.2)
SYNOPSIS
gcc [ option | filename ]...
g++ [ option | filename ]...
As you can see, the command line is gcc or g++, NOT egcs. :-)
